[Metastockusers] Re: System Tester 8 Newby Question for Joe

Metastock 8.0 PRO is release in october ( i think) now is 30 Jan and 
there are not yet a patch for these bugs.
I think that a serious software house don't sell a software with this 
bugs, not only I think that equis must advice that there are some 
problems in their website . Why they don't tell this??? Why who have 
upgrade to 8.0 pro can't return to 7.0 and lost all study chart????

For How many mounth i can't backtest my trading system? Or is more 
simple to redoing my study to all chart?

I don't know what are they doing at equis but they have lost I 
customer.

Bye
